It's amazing how many people can totally screw up a simple batch of cookies by over-baking them. Umm hello... If they are hard before you even pull them from the oven, do you think they are gonna soften afterwards?!?! Uugh I hate a hard 'fresh baked' cookie. lol
Great trick for too hard cookies, put them in an airtight container with a slice of fresh white bread. They will soften right up! The cookies will draw the moisture out of the bread and the bread will become hard and cookies will get soft. My grandmother taught me this little trick. If you want them softer after the bread gets hard, replace with a new slice.0 -

When I binge ate, I didn't either. I know I am waaay over so no need to log it. I just brace for the scale reading a few days later.
Exactly. I already know I'm WAY over for that day. Just have to try again the next day!0 -

That's awesome!0 -
I spilled some coffee on my pants earlier this morning and was too lazy to try to clean them here and didn't want to deal with a wet spot on my leg since the weather is cold and rainy so I changed into my workout clothes instead. Been wearing them since noon. Good thing I'm alone in the office today! Quite comfy, though.
Also, I still keep up with my arm and shoulder exercises every evening, but I'm still slacking on the planks. I do a few when I'm reading the news paper or a magazine, but I'm not tracking the time like I used to. I need to get back to doing that.0 -
I am going on a bike ride after my scheduled Fitness Blender workout to have a bigger deficit so I don't feel bad about eating McNuggets for dinner (I am fitting them into my day).0

I am still back on page 642. I have had entirely too much work the past couple of days to get caught up. I am off work tomorrow and have a ton going on, then we are off to a family reunion long weekend at my families ranch and I will not have phone or internet service on the ranch so unless I drive to town while there I may lose my login stretch, this pains me! I might just have to go for a drive everyday. I am not sure how I will ever catch up with this thread with that much time away though. I have to read each and every post so I won't miss anything! I am addicted to this thread! I may need to seek professional help for this

Very neat and it makes sense, too. Unless they are cooked too long. Can't get rid of that burned-overcooked taste. >_<1 -
I'm the same way with alcohol as I am with food - I just don't know when to say stop. So after a few embarrassing episodes last year I've just tried to not even have any. It saves me money and calories (not just on drinks, but on the inevitable binge that will follow) and I don't miss it. I'm fine with my diet coke when everyone else has a beer! I know it's not that easy for everyone, though.0

Walmart site 2 store is a joke. I did a pickup a month or so ago and had a huge wait. Like 20 minutes with only 2 people in front of me. And of those 2 people, they couldn't find one's order and the lady said she had JUST got the email note to come pick it up. Ooooh talk about MAD! I know I would have shown my azz for sure.
I hate site to store! I got an awesome deal on a 65in refurbished tv. When I went to pick it up, one end of the box was kinda crinkled, so I had them open it there. Completely destroyed! Their response was basically, that sucks, want your money back? No I want my awesome tv deal! Spent almost two hours in the store fighting with managers and their customer service line. Finally got them to offer me 20% off a new tv, then i convinced the manager to sell me a floor model which got me another 20% off. New tv, 40% off, only cost me an extra $35 over the original deal. It's one of my prouder moments. Lol0 -
I spent the whole day watching netflix and I just went over my calories with ice cream. So I'm still 400 over maintenance so far for the week, and Sunday is that cookout... and all I want to do is go to bed.
I hate being sick.0 -

Good for you for getting what you wanted! Lots of people would just get discouraged and give up, which is what they store is counting on. Glad you held them accountable for providing you the product you wanted.0 -

but i don't have that. and i'm not really sure why. i think some of it might be attributed to the prozac and welbutrin i take. i just mostly feel dead inside.
Okay, so many of us confessed to this a while ago as well, so no judgment (I have been on and off on this these last few months due to some personal realizations about my drinking as well, and have mostly quit but still not totally much to my disgust) but if you are combining that with Prozac and Welbutrin you are seriously putting your life at risk. Seek help. No matter how bad things are its not worth your life.
My therapist that originally prescribed them refused to treat me any longer when she found out I was drinking. what still kills me about that is, at my next session after she told me to quit drinking, i had seriously cut back, which for me is actual progress, and I was happy to report that I was getting there and doing better. And she was like nope, I said stop and you didn't, don't come back. It was kinda messed up really....0 -
Excited for you! How long is the flight? Have you never flown before?I need to say something that will lighten the heavy feeling I have today. The weather is NOT helping either.
In just over 6 weeks, my husband and I will be jetting down to Florida for a VERY belated honeymoon. I could NOT be more excited if I tried. I am also extremely nervous and anxious about the whole thing. I really don't know what to expect and that's very thrilling and nerve wracking at the same time. I'm excited to wear my new swimsuit and sun hat I just bought this weekend. It's very chic. I just need to get some cute maxi dresses and a cute swimsuit cover up to wear on the beach. I could also use some helpful tips about traveling by plane.
Thanks!
In total, I think the flight is about 6 hours or so. We'll have a 2+ hour layover in Dallas so hopefully we'll have time to do some airport shopping. Is that a thing?! I have no idea. Anyway, I've only flown once when I was five...that was over 30 years ago so I don't really remember it too much. I just remember little packages of peanuts.
1. I was born in Dallas, yay!
2. Yes airport shopping is a thing- at least I make it one! I'm also a people watcher- I could people watch in an airport all day I love it!
3. Only once?! I LOVE flying! Growing up I wanted to be a detective or a flight attendant
One time a friend and I had a 5 hour layover at LAX, we found a place to sit in the most high traffic area and picked out people walking by and made up stories about them, we had so much fun! Made the 5 hours go by really fast.0 -

Yeah, I lose the ability to say no, to anything, once I get going... bad choices usually ensue.0 -

Everyone is different, but at some point you gotta decide what your "bottom" is. I kept thinking I hit my bottom, but it was more like I was slowly falling down a granite staircase...each bottom was a little lower than the previous one, lol.
I've been pretty open around here about quitting drinking 3 1/2 years ago. Like pancake's dad, I just quit. No AA, no amends, no cutting ties with my friends. I just said "enough."
After a 25 year drinking career, sobriety is a pretty good high, actually!

My sister used to order pictures from Wal Mart. The pick ups were fine the first few times, but the wait just kept getting longer and longer until she had to wait for over an hour to hear that the person working in that department had gone home for the day. It just makes me glad that there's a good HEB a few minutes away from there.0 -

Yup. As birthday celebray I drank this past Saturday for the first time in several months. Yes I overdrank. Stayed up too late reminiscing and listening to my go to drunk music. Sang. Cried (<wtf). Hungover. It was terrible and fun both but reminded me to keep off the booze because like food, I do not know moderation.spacequiztime wrote: »I used Wal Mart's site to store for the first time this past Christmas and waited for twenty minutes to pick up someone's present, but apparently, the people ahead of me had to wait for at least an hour because there was nobody working in that department for a while.

I hear ya. This week has been a mess for me as far as logging goes. I've been all over the place with eating and exercising thanks to emotional rollercoaster-ing and just life getting in the way. But I'm right there with you on the buckling down thing We'll get back on track!
Put me on the list for this, too.
I've been off-track for a week now, with cookies and brownies flowing freely out of the oven at any time of the day. I NEED to get back on track. Send me good vibes and I'll return the favor? I'm so scared to weigh myself! Even my "big" pants are getting tight. 0 -
I feel like all my clothes are too small except skirts. I'm finally eating a reasonable amount, but it's still uncomfortable.0

I appreciate the comments about not being ashamed for being afraid to donate blood! I hope, somehow, that this fear will one day up and vanish. My mom said so many people were passing out all over the place when she went through medical school, but they stuck it out and now don't get phased in the slightest. I, however, am not currently planning on going through medical school!
For a confession, I got really really sick of craving chocolate all day. I made my way through two pots of tea (6 cups) and then decided to make a chocolate cake. It's currently sitting in the oven and I can't wait for it to be done. Problem's going to be limiting myself to one slice. I thought about freezing it, but then I remembered how I used to pull frozen cupcakes from the freezer and devour them. Guess I should really work on my self control.0 -

You know the ish is about to get real when that happens. I was there a few months ago and I refuse to buy larger. In fact, I am about to throw the "winter standbys" in the trash so I don't have any excuse. lol

I never thought I was going to like the food either. Since it is famous for the cheesecake obviously. Lol. So I got a pasta dish thinking it was a safe option. It was absolutely freaking delicious. And my boyfriends steak was the best I've ever had in my life. If you ever go again get the Steak Diane. Seriously.0 -
I might be diabetic, but I smoke anyway because YOLO.0

Any food that enters this house is fair game. That's why I am experts at shopping. However, my brother staying the night tonight brought us for dinner like a freakin' 4 ft hot italian sausage to grill. Diet blown. Sodium overloaded and to top it off, it rained today so I didnt commute to work so no calories to offset. And I sooo don't wanna get on the trainer at 6pm. Reboot tomorrow I suppose.0

Oh good luck. Me and chocolate cake = not a good idea.
Confession - I really stress out about special events. It sucks. I am completely torn between the 'enjoy it, it doesn't happen often' and the 'don't go crazy, you'll gain weight' mentality. Special events have always been about food for me and I just can't get out of that mindset. And I hate it because it stresses me out all week trying to bank calories for it and not necessarily succeeding.
Second confession - I'm really not sure I'll be one of the people who successfully maintain their weight loss because I'm just too obsessed with food and I can't always find the willpower I need to resist some foods anymore. Plus knowing that I will go over because of PMS every month gives me extra pressure to maintain a deficit the rest of the time, and it sucks. I'm honestly stressed out just thinking I'm going to have to live my life this way.0 -
Oh and new profile pic. SKINNY ARMS ROB LOWE!!! He's my fav out of those commercials.0
